Because of several projects, trips, a vacation, writing articles and presentations, and a few other life things, I've really not had time to post recently, nor will I over the next few weeks. I'm sure by the end of the month I'll be all fired up to get going on various topics.

Prensky’s metaphor of people being digital natives (intuitively understanding how recent technology works) or digital immigrants (needing support/ training in order to grasp new technology) seems wonderfully rich to me. Here’s an example from recent life. The other day we were visiting one of my wife’s godsons who was proudly showing off his Wii.

Going on as I do these days with regard to the value of social networking tools practices and the implications for collaboration in learning, which you may well have picked this up from a number of posts in this blog. As its summer now and there are no classes, its given me time to start thinking about trying to see if I can extract anything at all meaningful from the exercise that I encouraged my year 1 level 3 students to carry out at the start of their course in September 06.

I'm grateful to Technorati for finally fixing my blog statistics. It has been quite a while and I first blogged about the saga way back in March. My blog reactions (for the uninitiated, those other blogs that think my site is so cool that they cannot resist linking to it from theirs) and my ranking (the Technorati scale you rise up through as more blogs link to yours. it's all rather complicated really) were simply not registering.

I was interested to have a play with FlockPod , a new social interaction tool from Harbinger Knowledge Products, the people who market Raptivity, the rapid e-learning tool.

There was nothing much on last weekend so Sue and I decided to take ourselves off to the Cotswolds (which, for my international readers, is probably the most English of all areas of the UK, full of quaint villages with strange names like Upper Slaughter, and plenty of wannabe aristos with Range Rovers and green wellies). We stayed in a small hotel where it wasn't even possible to get a cellphone signal, so for the first time in ages I was truly offline.

OK, so you've tried Google, and probably keep going back, or maybe you even made your own iGoogle Home page, yep? Me too. You probably also know about tag clouds and how as you use certain key search words, these get larger and those that don't get used shrink? Ever used a swiki ? It's a search engine that acts as a wiki space, so that everyone who uses it can add their own knowledge. and the swiki learns.

Whether you’re shopping for your very first learning management system (LMS) or looking to upgrade, the process can be overwhelming.

Judging by the responses to Jane Hart's Top Ten Tools , I'm swimming against the tide with my love of huge, complex, expensive desktop tools. But given that I had to sell one of my children into slavery to pay for Adobe Creative Suite 3, I'm damn well going to use it. In a previous post, Back to School , I told you how I was learning to use Illustrator using Adobe's Classroom in a Book.

I've been taking a look at Buzzword , an online word processing tool that I first heard about through Cammy Bean. Now I've tried quite a few online apps that try to do what M/S Office does and they have been rather disappointing, but not this one. Now obviously it doesn't have the functionality of Word, but then that's not the point.
